What happened to WoW?

Wtf happened to WoW, why is it dying.

I remember old day in WotLK and mmo-champions forums. You could refresh the page and you would have new page full of just created threads, front page was being updated constantly, everyone was tracking progress and overall we were hyped as fuck.

I'm not sure what you're seeing, but on the front news have posted a few interviews from within the past few days. What is your definition of constantly? Because it's not the same as mine as it would seem.

Present the evidence, don't just jump to a conclusion right off the bat.

If progress for the tier has stopped, that's rather troubling, since very few guilds have cleared the raid content on even normal mode (4461 guilds as of this morning have downed Sha of Fear normal, according to wowprogress.com).

It's kind of like getting a wave of nostalgia and going back, digging out your first console system and that one game you loved on it, expecting to have so much fun playing it again because you remember it being SO AWESOME when you first got it.

And then you're like... "This is okay... but..." And somehow your memories of how AWESOME it was at the time don't seem to meet your expectations based on what you're actually playing.

Yet it's an old console game, it cannot possibly have changed in any way since you last played it.

Ah, I see. The only explanation is that you have changed and what was once awesome doesn't do it for you the same way any more.

But MMOs... it's much easier to blame the game when it comes to MMOs, because they do change and update. Yet the reality is probably the exact same situation as the old console game: It's still the same old thing. But you aren't, and neither are your desires and expectations.

If you're at the top you only can go down, you know. Nothing special here tbh

Sure personally guilds are progressing, but why should the community be excited about the 600th guild to clear Terrace. That's what I was getting at. All of the great guilds are done progressing.

When has anybody ever been excited about the 600th guild to clear anything? The way things are now is the way they've always been - the top progression guilds clear the content, and then everybody else clears it when they get to it, and then a new patch comes out and it happens again.

You remember, yet you signed up just now? Yeah right - oh..and to let the mods decide, I hit the reort button for flame baiting

How excited do you get the fourth time it snows every winter?

I agree with you, which is why I don't understand what the OP is getting at. Why are you attacking me and not him?
